Re: Which NovaTac? P or T?

I would go with the 120P. I believe that it will be one of the most versatile lights that you will ever buy. You can program the "P'' model to mimic the settings of a ''T''. Go ahead and buy it, you wont regret it.

Edit:It wont take you long to learn the UI once you have the light in hand.

Re: Which NovaTac? P or T?

Speaking as a complete Novatac Newbie myself, yes, the P series can seem rather overwhelming.....

....for about 10 minutes....

once you get the hang of it, it's remarkably intuitive

Here's the Cliffs Notes version of Novatac setup

there are four programmable slots, each designated by a distinct click pattern;

Click
Double Click
Triple Click
Click-Press

any light level can be assigned to any slot, as can the SOS, and Strobe modes

there are two programming commands;
Click-Click-Press; sets the light level and/or strobe modes
Click-Click-Click-Press; enters the option menu to set things like the Beacon, SOS, Find-Me flash, and menu lockout

to program the light levels, click to the slot you want to program, then Click-Click-Press, the brightness will ramp upward in distinct steps, when you get the light level you want, stop, and turn the light off to set that level

to program menu options, Click-Click-Click-Press and release the button when the LED flashes in Beacon mode (1 flash per second), click the button to step through the modes, when you find the one you want to enable or disable, hold in the button, if you are enabling the option, the light will go dim-to-bright, then to on, if you are disabling the option, the light will go bright to dim, then on

it sounds more complicated written out than it really is, the versatility of the P series is unmatched, you can set up the P to mimic the behavior of the T, lock out the menus and you're good to go, if you ever want to change settings, just perform a factory reset and set it up however you want

Re: Which NovaTac? P or T?

I own two 120T's. I like being able to go right to full blast bright on the first click. Clicking thru to get to the lower modes is easy though I rarely have a need to use the low modes. The T is cheaper,plus you can change out to the flat tailcap of the P.
